Description: | Select Guide Rating This book contributes to debates in geography and urban studies by analysing the spatial dimensions and politics of urban policy failure. This book contributes to debates in geography and urban studies by analysing the spatial dimensions and politics of urban policy failure. Attention is most often paid to successful urban policies. Policymakers go to great lengths to emulate success by importing policy ''models'', implementing best practices, or pursuing ''silver bullet'' solutions. Yet, stories of failure are at least as common as those of success. Some policies fail to launch in the first place. Others struggle to deliver their goals. Many collapse under the weight of poor administration, insufficient funding, or political opposition. |
